<H2>pushbutton</H2>
<HR>
Emulate a mouse button event.
<HR>

<H3>Usage:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>pushbutton</B> <I>button action</I> <BR><BR>
      <BLOCKQUOTE>
        where <I>button</I> is one of <B>left</B>, <B>middle</B>, or
	<B>right</B>, and <I>action</I> is is one of <B>up</B> or
	<B>down</B>.
      </BLOCKQUOTE>
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>pushbutton</B> command is a way of invoking the actions
      associated with mouse buttons from the command-line, or from
      a Tcl script.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>pushbutton</B> is implemented as a built-in window command
      in <B>magic</B>.  However, it is functionally equivalent to
      calling the Tk function <B>event generate</B>.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Bugs:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      This is all backwards!  There should be commands implemented to
      generate the actions that are caused by button pushes in each
      tool, and these commands should be bound to the button events.
      Presumably the existing setup is a holdover from pre-X11 days.
